Lidl has pulled a popular protein bar from shelves over allergy concerns.

The supermarket has recalled their Cookies & Cream Protein Bars, made by Healthy Fit, across Northern Ireland.

An alert issued by the Food Standards Agency states they contain milk and soya which are not mentioned in English on the label.

It adds: ‘This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya.’

Signs will also be displayed in Lidl stores advising customers of the recall and what to do if they have bought them.

The FSA says: ‘If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya, do not eat it.

‘Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund (with or without a receipt).’

Recalls also affected other supermarkets in recent weeks.

Iceland issued a ‘do not eat’ warning for a popular lunchtime snack over fears it can cause itching, hives and diarrhoea.

The frozen food supermarket recalled its Daily Bakery 4 Sub Rolls. The online exclusive contains barley, which is not mentioned on the label.

The cereal grain poses a ‘significant risk’ to people with an allergy or intolerance.

farm shop milk was recalled last week for possibly containing E. coli, a bacterium that typically resides in cow intestines.

Lidl recently asked shoppers to avoid eating a fruit and nut bar as it may contain pieces of plastic.

Earlier this month, a ready-made beef lasagne was removed for being made with prawn and lobster meat.
